Tom Cruise Accused Of Having ‘Play-Doh Face’ By Film Critic

Actor and film critic Jonathan Ross has weighed in on Tom Cruise‘s noticeably younger look amid rumors the actor has undergone surgery.

Ross seems to believe the speculation, saying the “Mission: Impossible” star has “got that kind of Play-Doh face.”

Meanwhile, a medical expert has stated that Tom Cruise most likely didn’t get surgery but instead looks like “he has lost a lot of weight,” as well as cut down on his alcohol and carb intake.

Jonathan Ross recently took a jab at Tom Cruise over his changing appearance, fueling speculation about possible surgery.

In the latest episode of his “Reel Talks” podcast, Ross expressed his opinion on Cruise while talking about Brad Pitt and his new movie “F1.”

He stated that Cruies “doesn’t look like him anymore,” comparing his new look to that of Brad Pitt.

“You’ve probably seen the poster around town – it’s Brad Pitt looking incredible,” the TV presenter said, per the Daily Mail. “He has aged remarkably because even though Tom Cruise still looks good for his age, you can see there’s been a bit of tweaking going on there, you know.”

“He’s definitely got a ton of filler in that face, I’m sure. Yeah, I’ve met him up close. I like Tom, he’s a really nice man when you meet him,” Ross continued. “He’s got that kind of Play-Doh face that people get when they have a lot of filler.”

Cruise remains one of the most charming Hollywood actors, but throughout his career, he has had to deal with rumors that he enhanced his looks.

The actor was suspected to have gotten fillers in his face and used Botox to freeze his facial muscles in the past.

However, in his conversation on the podcast, Ross said he wished the actor hadn’t done it, as his previous appearance seemingly looks better than now.

“To be honest, I wish he hadn’t done it cos he’s got such a great face, he was a naturally very handsome man when young, and he would be a handsome man when older,” he said. “He’s still… he’s not unattractive, but it doesn’t look that much like him anymore. You can see it doesn’t look natural.”

“It’s not because they don’t look their age, it’s because the shape of the face now looks somewhat different,” Ross added.

A plastic surgeon recently addressed the rumors about Cruise’s face, telling the Daily Mail that the actor most likely didn’t undergo surgery.

Dr Kahn explained: “I still say that does not look like he has had any plastic surgery. It actually looks like he has lots a ton of weight and been working out more. He also has a nice summer tan going on.”

The expert said Cruise “was a bit puffy” before, but “that is gone now,” going on to suggest the actor possibly had a Microdermabrasion.

“It’s a simple procedure that yields great results,” he said.

Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a special instrument to gently exfoliate and remove the top layer of dead skin cells (the stratum corneum) from the skin.

It is a go-to procedure for addressing photoaging, striae, melasma, and scars. It’s often referred to as a “skin polishing” treatment.

While fans and critics continue to speculate on whether Cruise has undergone plastic surgery, one thing is sure: he’s in top shape, especially for his demanding movie roles.

In an interview with Empire magazine, the actor revealed that he endured intense physical strain while filming a high-stakes underwater scene for “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.”

During the sequence, Cruise’s character, Ethan Hunt, explores a sunken submarine inside an 8.5 million-liter water tank mounted on a rotating gimbal, allowing the set to move on command.

Wearing a specially designed suit and mask, Cruise could only stay in the gear for 10 minutes at a time before experiencing hypoxia, a condition characterized by oxygen deprivation that affects the muscles.

“I’m breathing in my own carbon dioxide,” Cruise explained, per Variety. “It builds up in the body and affects the muscles. You have to overcome all of that while you’re doing it, and be present.”
